    As a punishment of giving Aero Dili a negative review the airline decided to post my Passport online breaching several Data Protection laws. They have also accused me of asking for a $50,000 bribe in order to give them a good review. An Airline that puts passengers safety at risk by publishing personal data of it's passengers, breaking international law as well as IATA regulations should not be allowed to expand it's illegal practices since this isn't the first time they have done this. We must take action and protect other passengers from having their personal data leaked, putting their safety at risk. Please forward this video to Singapore's Minister of Transport Chee Hong Tat - chee_hong_tat@mot.gov.sg to prevent Aero Dili from starting flights to Singapore in order to protect their citizens. Thanks for helping me to hold this airline responsible for their conduct of risking passengers safety.

      The fact that Aero Dili still wants to fly to Singapore even when they breached personal data protection laws is just abominable. No paid passenger should have to experience this. They probably targeted you because you are a flight reviewer, and that in itself is discrimination.

      Wow that's just unbelievable, well its actually not because a lot of these cultures take constructive, unbiased criticism as a personal insult instead of seeing it as most western cultures do a means of improving there customer service to avoid litigation and bad revues which inturn leads to loss of revenue .... for a Pilot to publicly name, shame, threaten & insult a passenger what can you say other than he needs a full physical, mental and drug test plus put on unpaid leave, preferable permanently blacklisted the world over...stay strong Josh so glad you alerted the world this disgraceful airline, hopefully Singapore will have the fortitude and ban them but money speaks more than customer safety

      Kurniawan your argument is non sense, as I mentioned above if Josh credentials posted in someone's private social
      Media how you report the airlines? This things happened in Indonesia, and I think Acacio is an Indonesian citizen because he lives in Bali as I knew, if acacio posted josh's passport in his private social media why you blame the airlines? The guy must be one of the manager in Bali ground handling and josh review of food poisoning under his responsibility that this why I though he tried to created an argument to cover him. I sugest josh to contact the airlines about this person responsibilities for his unprofessional actioned,.if aero Dili did not take any actioned means Aero Dili concerns about that behaves and behind it, than Josh have the argument to scalate this report to relevant entities..its a private airlines nothing to do with Timor Leste government,.but to stop aero dili to fly to Bali and Singapore maybe only on social media, its not going going to happen because Aero Dili is the first private airlines in Timor Leste it probably gets support from the authorities over there.so you said to stop Aero Dili fly to Bali Timor Leste also maybe will stop Indonesia airlines fly to Dili that is why I said your argument is to funny.

      @goytabr Před 3 měsíci +26

      @@awesomehli, IATA can't revoke their tickets, and in theory it's perfectly possible to run an airline, even internationally, without an IATA membership or interference. However, in practice it's very hard and hurtful to their pockets to do so. Their ability to receive connecting passengers and to sell their tickets through other airlines is severely impaired, to the point of making the business unsustainable. So, going the IATA route is a better way of getting things done about a rogue airline than judicial litigation (which, just for a start, has jurisdictional problems) - as long as IATA becomes interested in taking any action, which is not guaranteed.

      @goytabr Před 3 měsíci +11

      @@jfwfreo, being realistic, East Timor is formally a democracy, but then so are Russia and Venezuela, for example, so this is not really an argument. For all I know, it's not essentially authoritarian as those countries, but East Timor is a young country (just over 20 years old) that is still building its institutions from scratch. It would be naïve to expect those institutions to function as well as they do in mature, consolidated democracies, especially considering how poor the country is and the scorched earth that centuries of Portuguese colonialism followed by decades of Indonesian occupation, both brutal, left behind there. Everything, including the institutions, had to be built up from scratch, and that's an ongoing process still in its early stages. (No, this is NOT an excuse for anything, but it does illustrate how one can expect things to be very precarious there in all respects.)
      I have heard many good things about the efforts that the East Timor government is making to build the country (and I'm from Brazil, a fellow Portuguese-speaking country that for this very reason has many collaboration and aid projects with East Timor, seen both as a little brother in need and as a potentially strategic ally in Southeast Asia, and therefore we have an above-average amount of information and news about it). Still, this doesn't change the fact that East Timor is both a very poor and a very small country, and in such countries the relationship between the state and the private sector is extremely promiscuous and has blurred lines. There's no reason to expect East Timor to be any different in this respect.
      What you would call "corruption" is merely one aspect of a much deeper and wider systemic relationship. "Corruption" is even a simplistic term to describe a deeply intertwined partnership. Things run much deeper than that because inequality is also rampant and those few who have a lot of money have as much power to influence common people's everyday lives as the government does, if not more. They often have more resources than the goverment, which can't afford to ignore them.
      I read that Aero Dili is owned by the richest man in East Timor. You bet this man controls a sizable portion of the nation's GDP, land, and infrastructure, and even the government depends on him. That's the reason why you see so many young Third World countries nationalizing everything and confiscating private property - that's to eliminate competition in power. East Timor has not gone that route, but it's more likely that the government and the state institutions have to play by the local tycoons' rules than the other way around.
      I agree with you that blaming this state of things on an "authoritarian government" is totally off the mark in this case, especially considering that Aero Dili is indeed a private company. However, one must also not forget the promiscuous partnership between the private and the public sector there, plus the fact that Aero Dili is still acting as an instrument of a state policy, even if privately owned, and that the East Timor government is obviously turning a big blind eye to what the company is doing, because it's in their MUTUAL interest that it does so. Don't forget that.

      Sorry, no offense meant, but if you're talking about the East Timor authorities, that's highly unrealistic. East Timor is a small, young country (just over 20 years old) that's still building its institutions from scratch. In such countries, the relationship between the state and the private sector is highly promiscuous, and although Aero Dili is a private company, it's acting as an instrument of their state policy for aviation. The government needs private sources of financing and support more than the other way around. Aero Dili is said to be owned by the richest man in East Timor. That man probably owns a large portion of the country's economy and land, and certainly has immense power and influence on the government. It's not even about corruption, what you would call by that name is only a small facet of a much deeper and more complex relationship, and you can be sure that it's not in their MUTUAL interest that any kind of punishment is applied.

      @@goytabr You are right about everything you wrote, but you forgot one crucial piece of information, namely: Mr. Josh Cahill is a German national and thus EU national.
      The EU has very strict data protection laws, and Limor Leste is one of the privileged countries on the Schengen Annex 2 list of countries, whose passport holders that do not need a visa for Schengen agreement member countries.
      An abuse of someone’s personal data like this one is a valid reason for revocation of the visa free regime and subsequent removal from the Annex 2 list, so Timor Leste government should be very very careful and they should do everything in order to mitigate the situation. They aren’t Microsoft, Google or Apple, and even those big names felt the anger of EU on their shoulders.
      Remember, visa free entry to the EU for third country nationals is a big privilege, not a right. Only EU nationals have right to enter any EU country, the rest of the world doesn’t.

      @@mitjaoblak708, I very much doubt that the EU would change its foreign policy toward an entire geopolitically strategic and potentially oil-rich country because of one Internet incident with one ordinary EU citizen, even if a legal link between GDPR and the Schengen visa policy (which are overseen by different institutions) could be established (which is doubtful). Besides, if it came even close to that, the East Timorese government would try to place the blame on a "private company" (which would get a public slap on the wrist) and deny any state involvement.
      What could be possible would be for the EU to defer some aid payment while the case is investigated, but again, I doubt that Josh is a big enough fish for them to have the political will to risk their relationship with a strategic state for him. The way the Internet is full of all sorts of cyberbullying and slander everywhere all the time, soon they wouldn't have a sound foreign policy if they reacted that way to every such case.
      If Josh had been physically attacked while in East Timor and the government could be blamed for that, it could be a different story, but even that would still be weighed against other state and foreign policy interests. They don't even do much about the dozens of EU journalists and voluntary health professionals that routinely suffer violence and even are killed in many parts of the world.

      Not really in this case. The GPDR ends at the border of the EU unless it involves a flight into/outoff the EU. In this case, Air Dili does not fly even close to the EU so is not bound to the GPDR. I am not familiar with laws of Timor Leste, Indonesia or other countries related to said flight, but I guess there are laws covering it. The passport is property of the home country, but if that route is taken, it is for the embassy in question to do something. The only other viable way is to file a local lawsuit against the airline.

However, it's very likely that Aero Dili has one or more accounts in European banks, if for no other reason to process payments by EU citizens and residents and to pay suppliers like Airbus and its subcontractors.
